I have a new found respect for Iguchi Yuka after listening to the ending song. Shes almost always uses that bratty voice so I kinda typecast her into a one voice seiyuu. But boy, was I surprise to hear her sing in a normal voice and actually doing quite a decent job at it too

You obviously haven't watched Sankarea and Mayo Chiki; Iguchi Yuka has proven herself to be very versatile for a long time.

I actually have watched those. For me, I can always manage to pick out her voice work almost instantly since she mostly uses the same kinda voice with slight variations in delivery. But with with the ending song, I couldn't even tell it was her.

I don't think the really happy upbeat OP is going to work with the rest of this arc though. I didn't think about it until now but it will really clash with the storyline.

Every Railgun/Index opening is upbeat, despite how gloomy the particular plotline. OP/ED has no effect to me on the mood here, but if they throw in non-manga slice-of-life Saten scenes during the next few episodes, that would definitely spoil it. :P

But those scenes don't have that kind of a tone because of the music. The whole thing still comes off as very uplifting and cheerful.

*watches the OP again* Mmm... no. Sorry. The music could be described as intense, energetic, high powered, fast, or any similar such things, but not really uplifting and cheerful. It's not depressing, but that doesn't make it automatically uplifting. If you want to hear an uplifting and cheerful OP from this season, go watch Yuyushiki's OP.

Railgun S' OP is suited for an action-oriented season, which, unless I miss my guess, is what this is going to be. It is not strongly oriented towards either dark or light.

Intense and energentic is uplifiting. And I already said that it doesn't need to be depressing.

There's no way you watched that and didn't get a cheerful tone from it.
